NextGen Bus Study

Nextgen bus study

For the first time in 25 years, Metro is restructuring its entire bus system and designing a new bus network that is more relevant, reflective of and attractive to residents of Los Angeles County. The NextGen Bus Study is an 18-month, four-phase study focused on identifying a strategy to address the redesign of the countywide bus system. The objective of the study is to understand transit market demand in Los Angeles County, study the agency's current bus system and how well it serves current and potential customers and recommend how best to transform the system to be more relevant to what people need today.
